What to Support

Whether through scholarships, fellowships, faculty endowment or research endeavors, every gift supports the things that really matter here at NYU Shanghai. When you give, you not only invest in the people and projects that will take our pioneering, dynamic and ambitious community to new heights, you also invest in NYU’s vision of a global university.

  • Financial Aid and Scholarships

    NYU Shanghai provides need-based financial aid to all students with demonstrated need. Financial aid at NYU Shanghai may take the form of university scholarships, federal aid (for US citizens/official permanent residents of the United States), or outside scholarships. NYU Shanghai considers all students for scholarships regardless of citizenship. We also provide merit-based scholarships to students; recipients of merit-based scholarships are determined based on their prior academic strengths.

  • Student Involvement and Leadership

    In a few short years, student life at NYU Shanghai has grown into a vibrant community because each class of students understands that they are essential to the ongoing legacy of this school. Our students have formed dozens of clubs revolving around arts and culture, sports, identity, business, and social engagement. They get heavily involved in the future trajectory of the university by participating in Student Government, and give back to the community through service projects and alternative spring breaks. Read more about student involvement at NYU Shanghai.
